slagmarble Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Whats going on with the transparent purple in this photo? It looks REAL bright! Maybe an unusual feature of the CA glass or a byproduct of photography?? -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.T. Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't know. Good question though Brad. I would say higher probability it's the photography vs. the glass. Here's another image. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoken Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Awesome. In the first pic toward the middle top there is a guinea that looks like it has a reddish base. Is the collection for sale ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Oh look, someone snuck some exotics into the ground a long time ago so they could be dug up later.(LOL) Just had to Bill! Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Just shows how important it is to some people to make a point - that he'd bust up some pretty marbles to prove exotics were "manufactured"! - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I was just joking! I probably shouldn't mess with that topic. Sorry. - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.T. Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 You said it Galen:-)... not me...lol Kind of ironic isn't it don't you think. I could have posted these images years ago but I never felt I needed to prove anything to anyone! ...... And I still don’t! Here's some cool drips and pieces, one of them looks like mickey mouse:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.T. Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 No need to protect any investment here, for two reasons. I was very fortunate to get in on them before they went through the roof. Sadly, I had to sell many of the ones I bought long ago. Had a few bad years there, glad I have a nice marble collection to help out when things were not as good as they might be. I have a few left, less than a dozen and believe me they aren't the high dollar ones. I have always been drawn to unique construction features vs. the ones that sell for the highest prices because they have some fancy name:-) I still like flames better then these fancy multicolored slags also!! The proof thing well, I'll just leave it at that!!! Sure, I like c.a.'s and you might say I still have a pretty nice collection:-).... but they are not my favorite marbles by any means. Hand Gathered marbles have always been my favorite marbles and always will be ...... oh ya.... some people might think I have something for bluengreenz marbles:-) BT Oh ya, I have what many would call exotics, (man I hate that name,) that I have had 13 years plus..... long before these all surfaced ...lol Like you have said, just look at the Grist's book they are there in plain sight.

tankgrrl29 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 i have to totally agree with that title - Awesome doesn't begin to describe the group!!!! those 'drip' pieces are cool too! i have some pelt pieces like that (lame-o bananas, but still cool!) um, i don't see any 'exotic' fragments here though - did i miss them? (ack!! don't kick me, BT! i had to do it!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRE81 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I gotta ask.........???? Do any of your half pieces match up to make one marble ???? I couldn't resist trying to make marbles outta the stuff (Pelts) I got a couple years ago. I got ONE....!!!! (Pee-Wee) RAR.........sssshhhhhhhhh....go go SuperGlue!
